Re: 70 stations in 1 picture - ANSWERS (BEWARE SPOILERS)
I'll take this opportunity to get some easy ones out of the way. I probably don't need to provide detailed explanations for most of these, so I'll just say where I found them:
Elephant & Castle (top left)
Angel (top left)
Swiss Cottage (middle left)
Marble Arch (middle middle)
Arsenal (pile of guns in middle left)
Leytonstone ("late on stone", bottom left)
King's Cross St. Pancras ("kings cross", middle right)
Hatton Cross ("hat on cross", middle right)
Queensway (queens on street sign, bottom right)
Royal Oak (crown on oak tree, middle middle)
That's ten. Better leave some for the rest of you

OK, I've got 64 now, with a few I know are probably there, but I can't see what they are for the life of me.

Re: 70 stations in 1 picture - ANSWERS (BEWARE SPOILERS)
Well, I've got 70, but there are some things which I can't identify, so either there are more than 70 stations, or I have discovered stuff the artist did not intend!
Either way, I've taken a copy of the picture and numbered the ones I've found, so I'll post it up a bit later if you like. Still looking for more ...

Re: 70 stations in 1 picture - ANSWERS (BEWARE SPOILERS)
Would anyone mind if I post up the picture I've numbered, with the answers I've found? There are a couple of ones I'm not sure of, but I've labelled them anyway. There are also a couple I can't get, and it's annoying me, because they should be easy enough with a list of station names to go through!

Re: 70 stations in 1 picture - ANSWERS (BEWARE SPOILERS)
OK.
This is as big as I can get it. Is it big enough? Can you all see the numbers? My answers below the picture. I accidentally labelled two things as number 47, so you'll have to work out which is which - shouldn't be too hard. Most are self-explanatory, but I have explained a few. Some of them are tenuous, and there are some items in the picture which I have not numbered, because I can't work out what they are supposed to be.
That dead pig is annoying me the most. The only thing I can get is Hoxton (hog's done). Not very good is it?
1 - Elephant & Castle
2 - Angel
3 - Chalk Farm
4 - Swiss Cottage
5 - Marble Arch
6 - Redbridge

60 - Leicester Square (a square of Red Leicester cheese!)
61 - Stockwell (not sure what the white thing is in place of the bucket, but it's a well ...)
62 - Victoria (Victoria sponge?)
63 - Westminster (it may not be intended, but he put it on the sign)

69 - Mile End (not sure where the "end" comes from)
70 - Mudchute
71 - Brent Cross (bent cross? This one is a bit tenuous too)

Re: 70 stations in 1 picture - ANSWERS (BEWARE SPOILERS)
Unknown items:
The bale/rick of hay behind the fooballer on the hill on the right,
The man watering the bush on the right of the road,
The dead pig,
The dog with the partially-green head,
The glue on the peeled-back section of road.
Is there anything else I've missed?
